Loading Dock design

[tank]

I am looking to get an idea on the maximum allowable ramp slope into a flat loading dock. I am planning on having a wb-67 truck access an upward ramp towards a 100 ft landing. I am having difficulty finding belly clearance requirements. My first thought to mind is to provide a ramp no greater than 8% into the landing..

Thanks

8% sounds a bit steep.. If it's possible I would provide 20% for WB-67 with at least 40' clearance from back of the trailer (for loading and unloading and area for storage) Therefore, the total platform should be 72"+/- for truck plus 40' of storage area for loading and unloading.

I wouldn't go below than 12% grade on WB-67s.
